Mini Racers (Prototype) JP release: N/A NA release: N/A PAL release: N/A Developer: Looking Glass Publisher: Nintendo N64 Magazine Score: N/A An unreleased prototype of a game where you control RC cars through colourful environments, although it’s much more like RC Pro-Am than Micro Machines, as you race around tracks rather than over, under and around larger-than-life objects. There are a lot of tracks in the game (although one or two in the prototype don’t work), however I found it to be quite difficult as I’m awful at this style of racing games with the overhead perspective. One issue with the game is it doesn’t really do anything special in terms of gameplay. It’s a top down style arcade racer, and that’s about it. It seems like it would have been a decent one, but I don’t think this game would have had much attention if did get released. As for why it was cancelled? Nobody really knows, but Looking Glass Studios didn’t last much longer. This seems like it was almost finished, just a couple of loading issues with some levels. One thing that Mini Racers did have was a track generator and editor. First you set parameters such as how many turns, shortcuts and bumps; but then you can adjust parts of the track manually. The theme of the track seems to be random, though. There’s also a much earlier prototype game from Looking Glass Studios called Tamiya Racing 64, which is a similar style of game, but that prototype is an endless time trial on a single track. I’m quite confident that it’s an earlier version of Mini Racers, so I don’t think it needs talking about separately. Fine Should it be finished? It wouldn’t take much to finish it off – just fix the loads for levels and translate the simple menus. However, I’m not sure many people would be interested. -

I was reading that they've pretty much gone dark on X/Twitter since the launch of the game. With the way cuts and layoffs are being made in the industry, it must be scary times over there. 8 years in development and then a financial bomb of epic proportions. -
Hardly a surprise with Concord. It looked good, but comments i read on a State of Play showcasing this turned sour as soon as it was shown as a paid GaaS. Has to be one of, if not the biggest software flop from Sony. Not looking good for Firewalk Studios. -
I'll never say no to a bit of Tetris. Probably going to pick this up, there's so many games in there. -
If you've not played Little Nightmares II, good chance as any to give it a pop.
